| Mr Winmas Yu | 余睿章 先生 JUDGE’S COMMENDATION Queensland University of Technology Lead Digital Content Producer, Cantonese Radio Program, SBS Radio 昆士兰科技大学校友 SBS电台广东话节目网上内容总制作人 Sydney My name is Winmas Yu, the Lead Digital Content Producer for the Cantonese Program of the Audio and Language Content division in SBS Australia (“SBS Radio”). I graduated from the Queensland University of Technology with the Bachelor degree of Creative Industries in 2015, and the Master coursework degree of Media Practice from the University of Sydney in 2016. Since young, I have been very interested in journalism and multimedia productions. The two university courses helped shape my career, so that I could deliver news content and up-to-date information to the Chinese community in Australia utilising my skills and knowledge, particularly those who do not pursue adequate English language skills to understand reports on mainstream media. It is especially in these past 18 months when Australia was affected the Covid-19 pandemic, that our role has never been more important, as we deliver critical public health messages to the community, which has been very well received and appreciated by community members, who expressed their gratitude via different means. I am grateful that I was given the precious opportunities to live, study and work in Australia, and I wish to continue serving the Chinese-Australian community and the wider Australian society in the future. 本人余睿章，現職澳洲SBS電台廣東話節目網上內容總製作人。我2015年於昆士蘭科技大學修畢創意媒體學士課程；2016年於雪梨大學修畢媒體學碩士課程。 我透過從中所學的知識及技能，為澳洲華人社群提供最新新聞資訊。特別是澳洲遭受新冠病毒肆虐的近18個月，更能清楚反映我們所發揮的作用，提供重要的公共衞生資訊。 我慶幸自己能得到在澳洲生活、學習及工作的寶貴機會。我希望能在未來的日子，繼續為澳洲的華人社區以至普羅社會作出貢獻。 |
